Build 20110828

Test build 20110828 for Android-x86 2.3 (Gingerbread-x86).

The Android-x86 project is glad to announce a new test build 20110828 for public testing. This is a release candidate for android-x86 2.3 stable release. Live CD ISOs are available from our sites, as usual

The test build is based on the Android 2.3.5 (Gingerbread branch). We fixed and added many x86 specified code to let the system runs smoothly on x86 platforms, especially for netbooks or tablets. The key features contain

Kernel 2.6.39.4 with KMS enabled. Most netbooks can run Android-x86 in the native resolution.

OpenGL hardware acceleration for Intel and AMD Radeon chipsets. However, if you have trouble with it, you can disable it by adding HWACCEL=0 to the cmdline.

Wifi and Ethernet support. Both are configured from the GUI.

A new text based GUI installer which supports ext3/ext2/ntfs/fat32 filesystems. The installer now supports read-write mode, as well as a tool to create a fake sdcard.

Bluetooth support for builtin device and external bluetooth dongle.

External usb drive and sdcard are auto mounted on plugging.

Add software mouse cursor. Mouse wheel is also supported.

Compressed filesystem (squashfs).
